snapbacks

Flat-brimmed adjustable caps

Snapbacks are baseball-style caps with an adjustable plastic snap closure at the back, distinguishing them from fitted caps that come in specific sizes.

The style became popular in hip-hop culture and streetwear fashion: He collects vintage snapbacks from the '90s.

The term also refers to quick verbal comebacks or retorts, and in technical contexts, to systems returning to a previous state after disruption.
